Life is Like Sailing - Bayfield 36 Interior Boat Tour 

The Bayfield looks very comfortable with lots a storage...good job to both of you in doing the tour. Nice to see all four of you out for a social evening together.

The Gozzards built a great blue water cruising boat in the Bayfields. Cole made a wonderful choice. The styling with the bowsprit and wood gives it a great distinctive look as well.

This is a fantastic layout. And only 36 feet. Awesome.

Good to see Cole back. That looks like a lovely comfortable boat for long distance cruising.

very cool i like this young man the first time i sew him! so happy he's doing his dream ! :)

It was nice to see Cole's boat; it's very nice and kept neat. He's a very nice person, respectful and good manners. Great vid!

Nice video. It's quite enjoyable to see what other folks are doing in the sailing world. Looks like Cole has got himself a nice boat there! Also, that was a nice book he was showing. Take care, Craig from South Carolina

Beautiful boat!!! But the best thing is the passion both of you have about sailing and living aboard. Go on living your dreams!

I love Bayfields. The 29 has such a unique layout.

Came to like Cole a lot, watching the Canada westcoast 2016 series, a cool and down to earth (or sea) kind of guy, so it was awesome to actually see his own boat😊all the best for him and his future sailing. Good video as always👍

I enjoyed the tour..... it's 1:39 am Christmas day.... just got home from work 2 hrs ago and finished helping the wife with putting out the toys.... watching the tour was a nice wind down after work. Merry Christmas and Seasons Greetings !!

Real nice canadian built boat. Thank you for the tour

she's a nice ship .........enjoy some sailing......

I ran into your friend Cole and his boat (literally) in Nanaimo in the middle of the night a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't until a week later that I had one of those ah-ha moments and I finally figured out why he seemed so familiar. It made for an interesting story...

Great to see Cole's boat. He looks really excited to take her on his own adventures now. --Jim

that's a beautiful boat. I like Bayfield. I've usually seen pictures of the 25 and 27, so this was a nice treat. good luck staying warm.

beautiful layout, like the location of the nav station!!.. interior inviting warm and cozy

Cool boat.

Nice boat! I've been enjoying watching your vids, thx, and this one got my attention because I purchased a Bayfield 36 Dec 3, 16. I will be looking forward to the cruising video on Cole's boat in 2017.

what a cool guy. Enjoy your trips.

Thanks for the tour guys, what a treat to sit down with my wife and look at the boat we were dreaming about many years ago before she came up for sale. We went from the bayfield 25 up to the bayfield 40 which has both the berths at the cabin entrance and the galley forward. Great video. thanks Alfy Cole you could think of putting partitions in your fridge to keep one section colder yet leave the bottom open to share the cold air. Think Zones. Dave and Karen

beautiful boat Cole. Fantastic tour.

Awesome boat :) Awesome tour :) Thoroughly enjoyed the video - as always :)

Beautiful S/V

Great tour...great boat! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Hi Alfy great tour of a great boat ! tell your friend its a beautiful boat !

Nicely appointed boat. Very cozy.

Very nice boat! Congrats

Pretty compact for 36'. Thanks.

well you two. miscalculation of tides can be a great learning curve. 40+ yrs sailing and I've fallen foul of that. admittedly I was a lunar eclipse and the electronics was on the wrong time zone....... but that's no excuse! Great you guys got to connect...... Merry Xmas and all that stuff 🍻⛵

That's a nice boat! Thanks for the tour. Happy trail's to both of you : )

hi cole, Merry Christmas and its great seeing you again.

Nice ship. Glad to come abroad.

Another great video Alfy. All the best for the New Year.

Very spacious and well laid out 36 i must say.

great boat

Nice boat

mele kalikimaka and a makahiki hou. Beautiful boat Cole has, anything that has Gozzard involved is of quality.

Nice yacht Cole!

nice boat.

Real Nice

I've got a Bayfield 32C on the portside and a 32 on the other. The 32C blew out her head sail returning from Powell River last week.

Tell Cole, he "ABSOLUTELY" made a VERY SMART PURCHASE with his 1987 Bayfield 36!!! After watching more videos during the past year, it is my #1 choice, now...These are typically a little less expensive compared to the Allied Seawind boats but both are fantastic 'full-keeled' cruisers --- the Allied 30 being the first boat to circumnavigate...In the future, all Cole will need is a) Dickinson heater, b) watermaker, c) Monitor windvane, d) pair of wind turbines, e) AIS, f) life raft g) dinghy+outboard and he'll be ready to take the girlfriend, anywhere...When will he have a YT channel???

as far as i know the bayfield designs were, after the bayfield boatyard closed, taken over by gozzard and they continued producing them almost unchanged (fortunately)

Bayfields have a great reputation as well built, quality boats and yours is a beauty Cole. P.S. There is a great FB page called Bayfield Owners' Group that is very helpful and a great resource for Bayfield owners.

Lake Ontario sailor, so lots of Bayfields here. They are beautiful and well built boats. My boat is a C&C 33 MKII however if I am out in 25+ blow, I want to be on a Bayfield. I can't believe any Bayfeild was ever launched with the doors needing planing so something is going on that should be looked into. I am not a great fan of TVs on a boat however, check the specs on the brick on the power cord. It's not uncommon here to cut brick off and tie it into the 12v system.

Would you share the size of the TV and details about how it was mounted? Thanks, lovely boat!

enjoyed

Nice visit and tour guys. You got a great boat there Cole. My doors get sticky every season but instead of using my planer I pull out the dehumidifier and just like magic after a day or two they open and close smooth as silk. I guess it's not that well known of a fact that moisture causes wood to swell. :) Anyway just my two cents on the topic. What's Cole's boat's name so I can keep a eye out for him this spring. Cheers, Bill

Alfy - I was shocked to come back after a couple days off and found I'm behind on your videos. A couple comments: Cole has a very nice (first) boat. He is lucky. He might want to consider checking the tension on his rig. It may be out of tune which caused him to have to plane all his doors. Also, those "handrails" on his table have a name - as you may have already told him. Also, I'm sorry for earlier calling him Kyle. In all those videos on your trip, I thought Kyle was his name. I was wondering what those boards are he has stored in the Dakine bags in his quarter berth. Snow boards, wake boards, kite boards? Hope you had a Merry Christmas and were able to spend lots of time with your kids. Ron

@00:30 ... is that a Luhrs on the left? The blue/white color scheme and tilted windows look similar to my 1973 Luhrs Super360.

Hello What is its sailing performance like? Pointing ability and reverse motoring ease? I am actually looking at a Bayfield 36 and wonder how it sails, Ty

I am in the process of buying a bayfield 36 right now and have a question for you or your friend. What do you think about the fact that the stbd lazarette is open to the engine room and could fill up the inside of the boat in the event of being knocked down? I have been looking on line but now one has mentioned anything about this.To me it would seem that a bulkhead is required at a min.

Tell Cole from us that we thought he had a great boat, a little jealous, but in a good way. Would have also loved to have seen the topside too.

Bayfield's are nice boat's! it must be like mine backing up is imposable. I didn't see any heater, or does it have a espar? I was just down at saltspring to bad there's not a site where people say where there going and can meet up with others.

Nice Boat Cole, take u anywhere

is it offshore boat world cruiser ?

Alfie, what year is Cole's boat? Great video!

Lets Look Gain :)

Cole saw his "girl friend", but did she see him? 😄 JK, good video

bayfield 36 a very well built boat during the 80s recession they had problemms and mr gozzard started gozzard boats the same diferent interior ,i like them better but resale is high to afford for me.

He's like a nice bam margera.

Nice boat indeed. It's a shame that the headroom in these boat-lengths is marginal even for normal people (let alone me at 6'10").

:)

Aarrrr urrrrr and yeahhhh yarrrrr uummmmmm ddddaaaa aaarrrrr hmmmm nnnnaaaaa
